She's really cool and does her best to keep everyone in the class happy and interested. She's also very easy to negotiate with. There's a group project and paper due at the end that is pretty easy. we didnt need the textbook at all and still learned all we needed to.

Stacy really cares about her students and wants to see them do well. She will help you find research and ideas for your final project. Relatively young so she can relate to her students well. I wasnt interested in markekting before her class, I had to take it for my major. But After her class I will be picking up a marketing minor.

Stacy is amazing! She's very energetic, so having her first thing in the morning is kid of risky. But the energy she brings into class is fantastic. She really cares about her students and she's very kind if she likes you. The class itself is a lot of work and she's very picky about grading, so go to her hours to make sure you the right things.

Stacy Neier is one of my favorite professors Ive had at Loyola. She's very caring, energetic, and really just wants to make her students career-ready and build their resumes. The class is pretty easy, most of the grading just comes from completing the projects in class, and her energy and positive attitude make all the skills she teaches manageable

Stacy was one of the few professors who has actually taught me real life skills and actually prepared me for my career. Her class itself is very fun and easy to navigate, but the level of difficulty half depends on your clients for the semester. The entire course is essential one giant group project so make sure you work with people you like.

Stacy is one of the best professors at LUC. TRULY cares about students, so energetic and kind. Gives detailed feedback to explain grade. Very encouraging. Sometimes didn't know how things would connect but understood it in the end. Quizzes every few chapters, come straight out of the textbook. Semester long group project. No final/midterm.

The BEST professor in Loyolas marketing department! She always has the day 1 energy throughout. Make sure you have a good group though because that is a majority of the grade. No exams or quizzes. Just group work for the client, reflections and Saleforce. Dont procrastinate, communicate and have that day 1 energy and Stacy will get you there!

Stacy is honestly such a sweet individual. I've heard people say she picks favorites, but honestly I seem to find that the people that don't like her are the people that just don't try too hard in her course. I think Stacy is not only a great professor, but a great person outside of class as well. 10/10 would recommend

Dr. Neier is a life-changing teacher. She cares deeply about all of her students and wants the best for them. She wants you to learn and clients are such a unique way to gain career experience. You have to go to class! So much easier to get an A if you attend class, it's 5 points every day you go! I would take any class she offers!!

My review as well as others was removed by her specifically so that should tell you enough. She made two profiles to hide her bad reviews on the other. She claims to be nice but is passive agressive instead. She expects you to figure it out on your own. She is apathetic to student issues and her only importance is her class. Worst teacher I've had.

DO NOT TAKE! If you don't mind your grade depending on others and the entirety of a final group project, then take it.. Stacy makes you believe like she is there to help but in reality gets upset when your group asks too many questions. She leaves no margin for error. If you are a senior needing to take this class I STRONGLY recommend anyone else.

MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR! When I was reading ratings I wasn't sure whether to take her or not but I'm so glad I did. In-class assignments are engaging and fun, just make sure you sit by students you enjoy as they become your group for the semester. Her attendance airplane days come in clutch. Take the course! I could not recommend her more!

amazing professor! so sweet and understanding. no HW to do beside some reading, exams are easy to do and sometimes online. Only the study guides take long to complete but it is to help you. Final is easy, and group project is good if you have good group members. Not a bad prof at all, class is easy!

Stacy comes off as very nice but in reality she is hard understand. No empathy for students, grade depends on entirely on group project and their peer evaluations on you. So make sure you get a good group because Stacy is also not help when you ask questions. So you have to figure out everyone as a group. Very hot and cold with her.

This class isn't formatted like any other business core class, it's based on groups and participation within groups. Super easy and fun class. The tests are online and are not weighted heavy, the study guides are weighted more than the test itself.

The sweetest woman ever. I adore Dr. Beran. Took her Jterm marketing and it was actually so fun, she makes it very digestible. I'd 100% take her all semester too, she makes class fun. One exam, 20 quizzes, 1 solo project, and participation. No better marketing 201 option!

There is a reason she has two accounts on here,look at the other one with her full name for accurate reviews too. Simply put if you are a senior needing to take this class avoid at all costs. It will be the only class in your 4 years that you regret taking. She has no empathy towards student issues. Believes her class is more important than others.

Most passive aggressive teacher ever. Doesn't let her students go to the bathroom. She made someone cry in my class. Her class structure is a mess. If u ask her for clarification she gets mad. Just the worst experience for a class I was looking forward to. U won't learn much either. She picks favorites too.

idk how she had so many good reviews before, or what happened, but unsure of what happened, she probably completely changed. everyone I talked to in my class had complains about her. she made someone cry in my class, she picks on certain students. and she is a tough grader. her Sakai is a disaster. attendance is mandatory.

Literally could not tell you one thing I learned in this class. The assignments are overall easy but she is so crazy. She micromanages everything and over complicates every little thing and shes not understanding. She does everything ambigously and its almost like she wants you to fail or miss some tiny little detail. Take someone else.
